Not going to lie. From all of these gorgeous sabers I think that one is my favorite. Do you have a build thread?

no build thread but it was fairly simple-
- found a King Sol 3 cell with clamp.
i got one with that dull metallic finish, but they also have them with the shiny plating.
- unscrewed and removed all the attachments until i had just a bare tube.
then buffed it with fine steel wool, then with the green side of a scotchbright pad until to i had a nice shiney brushed metal finish.
- screwed the clamp back on without the metal wheel (i felt it was too much).
- got a magnovox odyssey circuit card and cut it to size and attached it with that thick dark grey double sided tape.
- i repurposed the reflector dish holder and moved it up the shaft and used it as part of the shroud.
held it in place with two socket buttonhead screws.
had to drill two holes into the emitter end of the flash tube to hold the reflector dish holder in place and then tapped the holes for the screw threading.
took the old screws from the dish holder and screwed them back into their original positions to cover the leftover holes.
- the grips were cut from pvc tubing with an inner diameter of about 1.5".
filed and sanded.
drilled holes for 6/32 socket head screws and painted the grips with one coat of flat black krylon fusion and another coat of Satin Black krylon Maxx.
only 4 grips on this saber.
-used masking tape on grip area of the tube to mark to location of the grip holes, drilled the holes and tapped them.
also used socket button head screws.
- finally the shroud was cut from an aluminum tubing i got from online metals.
filed, sanded, steel wooled and scrotchbrighted the shroud for a nice finish.
slid the shroud into the flash hider holder and drilled one hole on the shroud for the socket head thumbscrew to hold it in place.
also tapped the hole for the thumbscrew.
I think thats about it
